In particular, it is very inefficient in terms of power consumption for the terminal to perform monitoring of an unnecessary downlink control channel for a large bandwidth of 100 MHz in a situation where there is no traffic. Therefore, for the purpose of reducing power consumption of the terminal, the base station may configure a bandwidth portion of a relatively small bandwidth to the terminal, for example, a bandwidth portion of 20 MHz.

For that reason, for example, if [Method 3-2-1] is followed, the terminal cannot distinguish between the NC-JT CSI reporting configuration and the CRI-based reporting configuration. Therefore, there may be a problem that the complexity of the terminal increases unnecessarily by always reporting the NC-JT CSI, and the understanding between the base station and the terminal does not match, that is, the base station predicts the CRI-based report, but the CSI mismatch is caused by the terminal reporting the NC-JT CSI. This problem can be solved by using the above explicit indicators together. Similar explanation is possible when multiple CSI-RS resource sets are configured in a single CSI resource setting for channel measurement according to [Method 3-2-2].
  • NC-JT CSI reporting may be limited to specific time domain behavior. For example, if NC-JT CSI reporting is allowed for all time domain behavior, the computational complexity of the terminal may be very large, so NC-JT CSI is measured and reported only in the case of aperiodic reporting, and in the case of semi-persistent or periodic reporting, the CSI may be measured and reported.
